2 going on 12.

So, Denny and I are sitting on the couch watching the news and getting the latest information on Gustav. Emerson comes out of the Playroom all decked out with sunglasses on and a purse on her arm.

Emerson: Bye Bye. I be back.
Me: Where are you going?

Emerson: For a walk.

Me: Okay. Be careful and be back for dinner around 6:30.

Emerson: Okay


She goes out to the backyard. Then she opens the door to the carport and walks out. Closes the door behind her.

Denny and I go out the front door to see exactly where she would go. Of course, I run and get the camera.
I mean really...I wonder what is in her purse??

Feeling better now

Emerson has not been sick in such a long time and she has felt rotten. Another trip to the Doctor and lots of meds and she is feeling better today.

We went to her school today for a little while so she could meet her new teacher and play in her new classroom. It was a nice break for her- she has been stuck in the house a lot lately.

She is doing so well with potty training. We have been giving her M&M's to help transition going #2 on the potty. It has really helped her and she is not as hysterical now.

Yesterday was Maddie's B-day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDIE!

NEWSFLASH!!!!

Em, in all her nakedness, walked herself to the bathroom, sat herself on her little pink potty and went. WAIT it's gets better... She then used half a roll of toilet paper to wipe herself. Then she dumped the waste into the big potty. (Enter Denny to observe and call Me to join in the observation) We then cleaned up the floor and flushed. WHEW HEW!! Big girl.
Maybe this naked thing will work out...

Not much to tell

Let's see. She is sick with a random virus that makes her cough like a dog and gag. Potty training is kind of on and kind of on hold due to the fact that she is sick and coughs like a dog and gags and we don't want to push it right now. She is mortified at the thought of doing #2 in the potty to where she can see it so she holds it for hours which freaks her out and she cries.

This is the only pic I can post because today she has decided that she does not want to wear clothes- NONE. So, she is naked. Not a good idea to post those pictures. I trimmed the "mullet" as Denny so kindly referred to it, off of her hair??
We spent yesterday afternoon, after the doctor, at ReRe's helping out around there. Well, Denny helped and I sat on the couch holding a sad, quiet little girl who fell asleep in my arms.
Her voice is so raspy it sounds like a 60 year old women who has been smoking most of her life. However, I think she feels a little better today. She ate breakfast and drank a little, so that is better than the last few days.

Progress

Day 2 went well. She had a few accidents during the AM, but she has been fine since. She is waking up from naps needing to go- even though she has a diaper to sleep. She actually went by herself this morning and did not even tell me she needed to go.

We went to lunch with friends today and she did fine.
She was between big girl panties and her princess dress most of the morning.

End of Day 1- Potty Training

What do you think about the new look?

Today went fine, once she got the hang of this whole potty training business. How long it will last and when will I venture out of the house- not sure yet...

Potty Training

Day 1- UM, OH MY GOODNESS...
